Standard will be read with sorrow by many Plain- dealer readers: Miss Eva S. Wheeier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Wheeler, 5 Park avenue, who up to last June resided in this oity, plunged into a mine near the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. McCumber, at Thermopolis, Wyoming, on Sunday and was suffocated to death. Announcement of her tragic death reached this city late Sunday evening, and bat fsw particulars were given. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler wired to Thermopolis for more details, but op to a late hour this afternoon were nuable to glean any additional information. It is supposed that the death of Miss Wheeler happened while she and a party of friends were on an excursion visiting the lead and sulphur mines. Iu some manner it is presumed she either fell into the mine or*was overcome by fumes and died before she could be rescued. Mr. Wheeler stated this afternoon that fee had not the slightest idea as to how her death occurred. It is also thought by some that the young lady met her »ad death by falling into au unguarded mine. The region in that vicinity is rich in lead and sulphur mines, and many of the mines which had been worked) were often deserted and left un­ covered. Miss Wheeler bad often written her parents here of her visits with excursion parties to the mines of that region and she expressed considerable interest in the exploration of the mines. Since last June she haebeett living with her grand* parents in Thermopolis and has been engaged in teaching. Miss Wheeler up to last June resided with her parents in this city. At that time she taught school for a term in Harlem township near Scioto Mills. She was born July 1fi, 1889, in Colby. Kansas. She lived therewith her par­ ents until she wa& five years of age, when the family moved to At wood. Kaunas Later they moved to McHen ry. 111., and they cam* to Freeport about three years ago Mr. Wheeler at present is a traveling salesman for the W. G. Wheeler Wholesale Lumber com­ pany of Rook ford. Besides her parents. Miss Wheeler is survived by two brothers--Emery Wheeler, of Rookford, Roy, at home, and Miss Winnifred, also at home The body will be taken to At wood, Kan., far burial. Mr and Mrs, Wheel er will leave as soon as they are advised of particulars of the death At 8;80 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Wheeler received a telegram stating that the euffooation in the mine was a double one and that Burt Martin, an uncle of Miss Wheeler, wan al«o suffo­ cated. It is believed froui this that Miss Wheeler and her uncle were ex­ ploring in the mine. Miss Wheeler was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Wheeler who resided in McHenry up until a few years ago when the family moved to Freeport. Miss Wheeler graduated from the Mc­ Henry high school with the claa* of '07. EXCHM8E CIE**I*CS, CHAS. H. MOREY WAS BORN AT HINGWOOD TUBERCULIN TE8T IMPRACTICAL Bo Declare* Dr. W. A. Kvm, Chief of Chicago Health Department, [From The Prairie Farmer.] A compulsory tuberculin law forcing Illinois farmers to test their cows for tuberculosis is not practical in this state, according to an unqualified statement made by Dr. W. A. Evans, chief of the Chicago department of health, before the joint commission recently appointed by the Illinois state legislature to in­ vestigate the efficiency of the tuberculin test as applied in Illinois. Dr. Evans made this statement in re­ ply to a direct query made to him by Speaker Shurtleff at a meeting of the commission held on the llth ultimo in Chicago. TUBERCULIN TEST NOT NEEDED Dr. Evans did not give the impression that he believed the tuberculin test un­ reliable, but simply at this time legisla­ tion compelling its use in Illinois was not only unwise, but would surely fail to accomplish tne results intended. Pasteurization of milk, in Dr. Evane' estimation, is the solution of the dairy problem in this state in so tar as milk d other dairy products may transmit tuberculosis to hnman beings With six months' notice, Dr. Evans believes that pasteurization of milk could be put upon a working basis and that reason­ able control could be insured. PASTEURIZATION MOST PROMISING. Dr. Evans bases his contention in favor of the pasteurisation of milk upon the fact that it is easier to control con­ ditions iu the comparatively small num­ ber of establishments operated by deal ers and milk distributors than will be possible upon farms. One advantage in favor of pasteurisation, according to Dr. Evans, is that the bottling plants are readily accessible, while the farmers are so decentralized that adequate in­ spection is not entirely impossible. Incidentally, Dr. Evans made the statement that be believes tuberculin testing is a matter for th* farmer's own protection, while pasteurization is and must continue to be the protection of the consumer. PASTEURIZATION EXPENSE MODERATE Iu his testimony before the commis­ sion, Dr. Evans went on record as stat­ ing that the expense of equipping a milk dealer's establishment for pasteur­ ization would range from $150 upwards. He found that the cost of pasteurization ranges all the way from 1 80 of 1 cent per gallon np to .0065 cents per gallon. He produced statistics showing that the expense to fourteen dealers ranged from .0035 cents to .0085 cents per gallon and a statement was made i before the com­ mission that the Bordeft company esti­ mated the cost of pasteurization from .0083 cents to .005 cents per gallon. NOTHING ON EFFICIENCY OF WORK No attempt was made at this meeting to bring out any evidence bearing upou the efficiency of pasteurising of milk, other than a statement made by Dr. Evans that properly pasteurized milk given equal care would keep about twenty four hours longer than raw milk. The statement was made before the commission that a state law enforcing pasteurization of milk will' protect the consumer from tuberculosis. It was admitted, however, ^ that in order to make such a law legal, all milk used for making of dairy products would have to come under the same law. DOES NOT MEAN C! "AN MILK. Dr. Evans maintains that milk prop­ erly pasteurized will destroy per cent of the disease germs, but added that pasteurisation would not prevent milk from being a carrier of contagion* chas jorkt tew, typhoid fever and diphtheria. Notwithstand­ ing the severe criticism heaped upon the joint commission at thb beginning of its labors, to work upon the tuberculin test, there is evidently a growiug feeling that thsee men are going at their work conscientiously with a desire to make a report of some usefulness and recom­ mend a desirable legislation. The commission is not only investigat­ ing the matter of tuberculin testing for tuberculosis, but is going into details concerning the protection of sanitary dairy products.

Harvard now holies to have its main business street paved before so very long. Steps have already beeu taken toward getting estimates from experts. The common council of Leke (yeneva will look into the feasibility of using oil instead of water for laying the duet this summer. An experiment has prov­ en satisfactory. The youngest bride that haa been led to the matrimonial yoke around here in many a long day is Miss Minniq Schrandt, aged 14. who was married at Clinton Jc. the other day to Henry Smith, a minor. An industrial exhibit of the products of schools for the deaf thruout the world will be held at Delavan in 1911. This is the first time snvthing, like this has been attempted and will be a moat remarkable display. Three thousand aores of Racine and Kenosha counties' land are to be devot­ ed to the growing ,of sugar beets this year. Indications point to the establish­ ment of a sugar best factory in that territory before many years. The la> iufg of steel on the Sycamore and Woodstock electric railway was be­ gun last Thursday, wheu the first spike was driven at 11 :S0 o'clock a. m. 1 be grading is done as far as Genoa, III., and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible to completion. The Cottage Hospital iu Harvard baa a record of 178 patients having received treatment in that institution during the sixteen months that it has been conduct­ ed iu its new and modem building. And during this time and in all the opera­ tions performed and those undergoing treatment there, but one death has been recorded. Genoa Republican Journal: W. P. iJoyd is displaying a lemon to his friends that is a monster specimen. Thq fruit was raised on the tree which stands in the window at his place on Main street. It weighed exactly 284 ounces, or nearly U pounds. There is one more iemon on the tree at this time and it will weigh more than the one which just fell. The big tear up at Momence has be­ gun and it is expected that the several carloads of the company's effects fiom there will arrive in Woodstock and be unloaded into the new factory the first of this week. Within the next few weeks it is believed the new factory force and all the machinery will be there and before June 1st, it is predicted, 200 or more operatives will be at work in this new factory. Charles Ward, Edward Jones and Major Lucius Hovey will never be brought to trial for the confessed theft of nearly |3,000 worth of gold bullion from the Elgin National Watch com­ pany. Criminal action against these three well known Elgin men has been eutirely quashed aud the. civil suit brought by the watch company for re­ covery will never be persecuted. The ejuival* nt in cash of all bullion stolen from the watch company during the year or more that the thefts continued have been paid the company. Eleven baby wolves, each but three days old, were taken to the office of County Clerk Wm. F. Lynch Monday afternoon by William Anderson, a resi­ dent of Bald Mound," in Kane uonnty. The wolves are the first taken in several months. They were captured in the open near Bald Mound. Anderson said that he accidentally came upon the mother wolf and the little ones while walking across a field a half-mile from his home. When be passed them he had no gun and was forced to leave them undisturbed. After dinner he returned. The oid wolf had fled but the cabs remained. Saloon men of Harvard are not very oheerful over the provisions of the sa­ loon ordinance passed by the city coun­ cil. The ordinance prohibits shaking dice, card games, raffles, gambling de­ vices of any nature, music and free lunches. No minors are to b« allowed in the saloons and it shall he unlawful to sell or give intoxicating liquor of any kind to any intoxicated person, habitu­ al drunkard or person in the habit of getting intoxicated,. The ordinance originally provided ^that all screens should be taken ddwn but an amend­ ment was made allowing screens to be used dnring business houra. John H. Hicks, the legless man who formerly lived at Chemung and made his living by canvassing for the s$le of books, was in a bat runaway last Fri­ day at Belvidere, whmo) he has made his home for some past. He would undoubtedly have been seriously in­ jured or killed had it out been for the brave act of a young farm hand named Harry Warner, who at the risk of his life ran out into the street, grabbed the bridle of the horse and hung on until be brought tbe animal to a stop. Warner was thrown off bis feet and dragged for some distance, but escaped injury. Mr. Hicks has made McHenry in his travels and will be recalled by many readers in 4*isvi4»itr. Died at his home in Rogers Park Sat­ urday, April 80, 1910, Charles H. Morey, aged sixty two years. Many friends of Mr. Charles H. Morey, who live in Lake county thru which be has traveled for the last four­ teen years, will be sorry to hear of his death, which occurred Saturday, the thirtieth of April, at his home iu Rogers Park after an illness of several weeks. Deceased was born at Riugwood, Mc Henry county. Illinois, and was the son of 88r. and Mrs, Solomon H. Morey. As a youth Charles Morey was bright to learn, being a great reaeoner. He was a happy young man and had the faculty of rnakiug those around him happy. He taught school successfully and be­ ing ap easy writer developed the art to a degree of perfection seldom reached by penmen A policy for life insurance written by him for Alderman Linn H. Younp of Chicago thirty years ago was exhibited at two fairs the same year by Mr. Young and carried off first premium for penmanship each time, tho prepared by Mr. Morey without any special effort or knowledge that it might ever be shown for a prise. He was a champion of the Spencerian system and few in­ structors were more successful teachers. Early in life he chose as a life partner *Miss Ella (>>lby and tbeir loug married life has been very happy. One son, Wallace Morey of Chicago, and three daughters, Stella, now MRB. Elmer Perry of Geneva; Lutie, now Mrs. Elmer Murphy of Chicago and Villa, who is with her mother in the home at Rogers Park, havp lived to comfort and to bless their parents. Compared with such, wealth and fame are as naught. They are a bequest to the future from the past and the present, the best monument to the memory of the parents who loved and of tbe mother who loves them still. Charles Morey was a loving husband, i# good father, fri&nd and Citizeu; AQU many of our readers will long «me»- ber his kindly interest in their welfare. The funeral was held at Ringwood Monday, Rev. William Nickleof Austin, who had been his teacher in youth, preached the funeral sermon. Some of the friends of his early life were his pall bearers and his grave was made beside the resting place of his parents long since dead. Mr. and Mrs. Walsh of McHenry, old friends of tbe family, rendered very ap­ propriate funeral music, and flowers in profusion, the offerings of kindred and friends, testified to the genuine senti­ ment existing between those whom he loved and those who remain to mourn his departure. Besides the wife and children men­ tioned, there are two sisters of the deceased, who with their families were very near and who feel deeply the loss of the brother and uncle. They are Mrs. Cornelia Ellsworth and daughter, Grace, of Elgin and Mrs. Philo Rde and family of Woodstock. NUMBER 47 ~ OUR WEEHf. PICI-UI8 ITEM8 PICKED UP ABOUT TOW# DURING THE WEEK.' j. ^ "Heart* of Virginia" Well frrtcntod. The members of tbe Empire Stock company of this place again demon­ strated to the public at tbe Central opera house here last Saturday and Sun­ day evenings that when it comes to put­ ting on a first-class play they are not to be outdone, not even by the popular priced attractions that are today on the road. Tbe company very pleasingly presented that emotional four-act drama entitled "Hearts of Virginia" to two large audiencee and when the curtain dropped, closing the show on Sunday evening, it was with an air of satisfac­ tion that tbe andience left the play house. The company used its own special soenery, which, by the way, far surpassed that usually carried by a pop­ ular priced show, and the manner in which the different characters handled their roles would make many a pro­ fessional sit up and take notice. To give each and every member of the com­ pany its juat credit individually would take up tbe greater part of this week's issue, but we will venture to say that on the next appearance of the Empire Stock company in McHenry, no matter what tbe piece may be that they present, we bespeak for them a packed house. School Note*. The pupils who have been attending the Lutheran parochial school have fin isbed tbeir work there for this year and are back with us, making an increased enrollment for tbe second room. Common school graduation examina­ tions were held in the fourth room last week, Assistant County Superintendent Booth conducting. The eighth year pupils took the examination, with the promise of exemption from any other examination this year if tbey passed. Commencement exercises will be held at tbe Central opera bouse on the even­ ing of May 9ft. We have this year a class of five, four girls and one boy. While this class is small, it has a record for work of unusual excellence and the exercises of this year will be of nnnsnal variety and will in uo wise fall below the standard of past years. G. A. K. Kncnmpment. Plans for the forty-fourth annual en­ campment of the Illinois G, A. R. are now completed. The encampment will take place at Freeport, III., on May 23, 24 and 25, and an excellent program has been arrauged for each day. Quite a number of tbe former boys in bine from this part of the state were drilled at Freeport aud this fact will undoubtedly serve to bring quite a number of Mc­ Henry comrades to the encampment McHenry Power Bout Club. The McHenry Power Boat club will formally open the season of 1910 with a dance, to be held at the Central opera houBe on Saturday evening, May 28. These gentlemen believe in doing things on a grand scale and this, tbeir opening event, will be exceptionally good in every way.

Promptly at nine o'clock the bridal party started from the rear of the church to the altar, where the ring cere­ mony was performed. The march was a very pretty spectacle. The bride was handsomely gowned in a dress of white satin and carried a bouquet of bridal roses. Miss Kate Lanres of this place acted as maid of honor and wore a dress of lavender silk and carried sweet peas. Tbe bridesmaids were Misses Christina Meyers and Lena Hettermann. The last two yonng ladies wore gowns of white embroidery and oarried bouquets of carnations. The groom was attended by Messrs. Joseph Smith, Lewis Althoif antl William Hoff. After the sacred words had been spoken that bound the two for life, high woo* was celebrated, which was followed by an elaborate re ception at the home of the groom's par­ ents in Jobnsburgb. Many beautiful gifts were tendered the young couple during the day by the relatives and friends who had gathered to enjoy the day with them. In the evening a wedding dance was held at Smith's hall, tbe dance being attended by 119 couples. The bride is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Barbara Smitb. She was born and raised in tbe vicinity of Johnsburgh, where she has spent practically her whole life.
